Liverpool Institute High School for Boys

Heraldic Shield

Owned and photographed by John B. Crane

The following is a précis of the information received from John Crane, John Missenden and Doug
Whittaker:

The shield measures seven and one twentieth of an inch high and five and nine tenths of an inch
wide.

The design is registered at the College of Heraldry.

G. K. Beaulah & Co. Ltd., in Hull, are
the real specialists in making such products. They are licensed to copy official heraldry and
would hand paint the design if required.

The background colour of blue, not green, is correct as blue was the original Liverpool Institute
colour. Green was only introduced to distinguish the grammar school pupils from the others.
Eventually, as the school made the transition to only grammar school pupils, the original blue
disappeared.
